I'd never even heard of a Japanese Anemone until I wandered round the Calgary Zoo gardens on 14th September and came across this one. "A classic botanical misnomer, Japanese anemones aren't really Japanese at all—in fact, they were developed about 125 years ago by nurserymen in England, France and Germany, who used several Chinese species (Anemone vitifolia and A. hupehensis var. japonica) to create what we now know as A. x hybrida—an entirely man-made plant, despite its simple, unaffected appearance."
